marquee 大帐篷来自法语marquise,女侯爵,来自marquis阴性格。后用于指多种豪华或大型物品,如大帐篷,大梨,大型广告牌等,可能是来自人们对豪门贵妇的幻想。其拼写是由于误以为marquise为复数,因此想当然的改成了单数形式。
marquee (n.)1680s, "large tent," from French marquise (mistaken in English as a plural) "linen canopy placed over an officer's tent to distinguish it from others,' " fem. of marquis (see marquis), and perhaps indicating "a place suitable for a marquis." Sense of "canopy over the entrance to a hotel or theater, etc." first recorded 1912 in American English."
